This video features a six-month post-operative follow-up for a 20-year-old volleyball player who underwent an arthroscopic Bankart and Type 2 SLAP reconstruction on her right shoulder.
- Before Surgery: The patient shares that she suffered from severe pain radiating throughout her entire arm for three to four years. Her shoulder would lock up and get physically stuck, preventing her from lifting her arm, despite trying different rehab programs and training.
- Mobility Check: Dr. Buford tests her range of motion both while she is seated and while lying flat on the examination table. Her forward lifting and outward rotation look great, though the doctor notes she is still lacking a small amount of internal rotation, which they will continue to work on.
- Current Status: The patient is eager to return to playing volleyball and rates her overall shoulder function at an impressive 95% of normal.
